9d Mo. FEBRUARY. 28 days. ‘TWENTY-THREE MILES west of London, the 


Thames, at Windsor Castle, presents a very 
different style of beauty. 
el oe es Noon. Windsor Castle, the principal residence of the 
Bs Wash’ton : English monarchs, covers 12 acres, surrounded 
M. Time. by a terrace on three sides 2,500 feet in extent. 
The buildings stand in the midst of Little Park, 
4 miles in circumference, connected by an ave- 
nue of noble trees with Great Park, which is 18 
miles around, and west is Windsor Forest, with 
a circuit of 56 miles. The keep, or round tower, 
was formerly used for royal prisoners. Wind- 
sor had been a residence of the Saxon kings 
before the Conquest, but the present castle 
was founded by William the Conqueror, al- 
most rebuilt by Edward III., and again in 1824-8, 
In the royal vault are interred the remains 
of Henry VI., Edward IV. and his queen, 
Henry VIII. and Jane Seymour, Charles i., 
George III. and his queen, George IV., William 
IV. and his queen.

NORTH MISSOURI 


From St. Louis westward, especially before 
we reach Jefferson, the character of the landscape 
is as enchantingly beautiful as any pastoral scen- 
ery in the United States. The hills are bold and 
noble of outline without being rough, and are 
generally wooded or brought to a high state of 
culture, and crowned with spacious dwellings of 
modern and tasteful architecture; the Missouri 
is a broad, magnificent stream, slowly, but with 
an impression of resistless power, moving to its 
destiny ;-and the notable absence of many crude

features of new-country life causes a pleasant and 
exhilarating surprise to the tourist. ‘The Missouri 
Pacific follows the south, while the Wabash as 
closely follows the north banks, affording beauti- 
ful river vistas from the car-windows. 


Lone IsLAND, with its charming diversity of 
surface and coast, is destined to become one 
great summer refuge, to which increasing crowds 
will come from even the more distant regions of 
the great interior.

HarRIsBuRG, as seen from the great Penn- MARCH. 31 days. 
sylvania Railroad bridge, is one of the most 


picturesque cities in the world. The Susque- 
hanna, at the city, is a mile wide, divided by an Wash'ton 
island in the middle. The dome of the Capitol M. (Time. 
of Pennsylvania, with the towers and spires, H, M. S. 
stand out against a background of boldly out- ie : c 
lined, verdure-covered hills, forming a grand

climax to the more pastoral beauties which the 
tourist, westward bound over this favorite 12 11 53 
route, will soon exchange for the titanic won- 12 11 39 
ders of the Alleghanies. The first settler on 3 _ _ 
the site of Harrisburg was an Englishman, 12 10 56 
named John Harris, who came about 1726. In 12 10 41 
1753 the Penns granted to his son the right to 12 10 26 
work a ferry, and the place was long known as 
Harris’s Ferry. It receivedits present name in is ns 
1791, became the capital of the State in 1812,

and received a city charter in 1860. 12 9 21

He OF 


No section of the United States affords more 
pleasing, cultivated scenery than can be seen 
anywhere around the fine old town of Lancas- 
ter—in fact all the way from Philadelphia to 
Harrisburg. The farms are of fair size and 
brought to the highest fertility ; the houses and 
farm buildings are large and tasteful, as may 
be seen from those given above, and the 
natural features of the country are such as 
blend most happily for this style of landscape 
beavty. With her wondrous resources, on the 
surface and below, it is easy to see the grounds 
on which so many predict for the great State 
of Pennsylvania, in the near future, the densest 
population of the country. 


ANTHRACITE COAL jis said to have been first 
used in the United States by two Connecticut _ 
blacksmiths, named Gore, who had removed to 
Pennsylvania—this some time about 1768-9. In 
1776 coal was taken from near Wilkesbarre and 
Plymouth down the Susquehanna in arks to the 
government arsenal at Carlisle, where it was 
used during and from the Revolutionary war by 
the blacksmiths and gunsmiths of that region. 
The earliest record of the use of anthracite in 
France is in 1814, while the Welsh coals were 
“little used’ in 1828. In 1812 Col. Shoemaker, 
of Pottsville, was arrested by certain Phila- 
delphians to whom he had sold a few loads, 
claiming that he was an imposter who had 
swindled them by “selling rocks for coal.”’ 


THE Crown oF Victoria consists of diamonds, 
pearls, rubies, sapphires and emeralds, set in 
silver and gold. Its gross weight is 390z. 
5sdwt. troy. The number of diamonds are 
3,452: pearls, 273; rubies, 9; sapphires, 17; 
emeralds, 11. 


RouGH Lire.—The exploration and settlement 
of this continent has been a continuous exposition 
of the readiness of men to yoluntarily forego all 
the comforts of home and civilized life for the 
achievement of a great object. The scant outfit 
with which the bold pioneer starts into the path- 
less depths of the primitive wilderness soon needs 
renovation and repair, but the deft fingers of 


woman are not at hand to contend with wear and 
tear, and so the poor wretch is fain to make shift 
as best he can with fingers that are all thumbs — 
but then his material does not require fine work, 
and what can’t be cured must be endured. But 
when sickness has overtaken our lone adventurer, 
and he tosses upon his rough bed in his far-off log 
cabin, how even his faithful dog must know the 

want of something—the need of 


MENDING DAY.—W. M. Cary. 


weman’s care and woman’s love for 
the poor sufferer. And how many a 
noble man who has braved the hard- 
ships and privations of separation and 
a new country came, not because he 
loved less but rather because he loved 
more — and that the loved might gain 
he scorned to count his loss ! 


ACCORDING to an English geo- 
graphical writer, there are four vast 
areas still to be opened up or traversed 
by civilized man, and which, among 
them, constitute about one-seven- 
teenth of the whole area of the globe. 
Of these, there is the antartic region, 
which in extent is about seventy-five 
times that of Great Britain; the 
second lies about the north pole; the 
third is in Central Africa, and the 
fourth in Western Australia. The 
south polar region referred to is 
almost conterminous with the antarc- 
tic circle. The vast African area: 
reaches on the west very closely to the 
coast, and it is only near the equator 
that it has more than superficially 
been driven inland. In Australia, 
the great undeveloped region is that 
which lies west of the track explored 
from north to south by Stuart, and 
which now forms the telegraphic line 
across that continent.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S parents, in March, 1830, 
moved from their forest home in what is 
ai; now Spencer County, Indiana, to Illinois, set- Neone 

m@ tling ten miles west of Decatur, where they Wash'ton 
built a log house on the north fork of the San- 
gamon, and cleared fifteen acres of land, for 
the fencing of which Abraham split the rails. 
He was then just approaching twenty-one 
years of age, six feet four inches tall, and the 
champion wrestler of the neighborhood. After 
attaining his majority, he spent a year or two 
working at odd jobs for the farmers, and made 
his first public speech ; it was on the navigation 
of the Sangamon river, on which waters he 
soon afterward launched a flat-boat, and, with 
his half-brother, navigated it to New Orleans. 
This early home of the sixteenth President of 
the United States is shown in the cut above.

and the Lahn, which is knownas the Wetterau. 
Originally belonging to a noble race, whose 
name it still bears, it passed, on the death of the 
last of the family, into the hands of strangers, 
who preferred the social charms of the adjoin- 
ing village of Budingen to a life in the secluded 
castle. It was thus left uninhabited, and in the 
latter part of the sixteenth century a large 
number of the Jewish people, driven by perse- 
cution from Frankfort, made their home in one 
of the wings of the Ronneburg, where, undis- 
turbed, they were permitted to follow the ways 
of their own faith. As some families (the per- 
secution against them becoming less violent) 
were attracted back to their old homes, other 
sufferers came—Protestant families driven from 
Austria, small bands of Moravians, and a few 
men of science, whose theories were pro- 
scribed at the courts of Catholic princes. For 
over a hundred years the walls of Ronneburg 
were a Shelter for those cast out from their 
homes on account of their faith. As seenfrom 
the valley, it still presents an appearance of 
strength and stability, but on entering the vast 
structure, one finds only an ivy-grown chaos 
of broken pillars and crumbled walls. 


New rFasuions for ladies were set in the last 
century by dressing dolis in the prevalent 
mode and distributing them over Europe. The 
custom is believed to date from Venice, where 
the governmenr rigorously regulated dress by 
meaius of a doll set up as a pattern. 


RANDALL’S ISLAND.—A,. C. Warren. 


NATURE seems to have intended Manhattan 
Island to be the centre of a large population and 
accompanying industries. Water-ways generously 
clear and practicable surround it on every hand, 
while the great ocean itself reaches its arms up 
to its very shores. 

The Hudson drains a large and incomparable 
agricultural region, and Long Island Sound fur- 
nishes a safe coast connection, while its magnificent 
land-locked bay furnishes anchorage sufficient for 
the navies of the world, with a grand and imme- 
diate outlet into the waters of the broad Atlantic. 

In the East River, as the strait connecting the 
waters of New York Bay and the Sound is com- 
monly called, are a series of islands adjacent to the 
upper boundaries of the city, which are admirably 
adapted for the public institutions so necessary to 
every large city. These are called Blackwell’s, 
Randall’s and Ward’s. On each are very fine 
buildings of brick or stone, which show to great 
advantage from the water. 

The ferries connecting the outlying suburbs 
(as they practically are) of Brooklyn and Jersey 
City are known the world over, and our picture 
will be readily recognized as a graphic represen- 

‘tation of a frequent winter annoyance. The 
Harlem River, which connects the waters of the 
East and the Hudson, has been but little used 
so far, except for pleasuring, but it is proposed to 
so improve it as to 


THE LARGE QUANTITY of milk used in manu- 
facturing establishments has been remarked upon 
by the London Z%mes. In certain classes of pig- 
ment printing work, which is indeed a species of 
painting —the colors being laid on the face in an 
insoluble condition, so as to present a full, bril- 
liant face — milk has been found a convenient and 
economical vehicle for effecting the process. 
Woolen manufacturers, also, have long made 
great use of a mixture of olive oil and milk, 
the animal fat in the latter furnishing an element 
of more powerful effect upon the woolen fibres 
than purely veg- 
etable oil alone.

THE NEW 


PARIS is the favorite of all European cities with 
Americans. In 56 B.C., under Julius Cesar, the 
city covered 37 acres. In 1860, under Napoleon 
IIl., it had spread over 18,315 acres. The popu- 
lation at present is not far from 2,500,000. 

In 1872 Paris contained 64,000 houses, and of 
all these less than one-third had been built prior 
to 1852: Certainly no city 
not visited by disaster was 
ever so thoroughly worked 
over and rebuilt as was Paris 
under the third Napoleon. 
Born and residing throughout 
his reign in Paris, he aimed 
to make it the most salu- 
brious, convenient and sump- 
tuous city of Europe. 

The most noteworthy of the 
thoroughfares are the Lozde- 
vards (from the German Bodt- 
werk), bulwark or ram-

finds representation in this ‘*centre of civiliza- 
tion.”? Most impressive of all is the Cathedral 
of Notre Dame, a noble specimen of the early 
pointed Gothic. Length, 390 feet; width of 
transepts, 144 feet; height of vaulting, 105 feet ; 
width of western front, 128 feet, flanked by two 
massive towers 224 feet high. 


PERPETUA, one of the early Christian martyrs, 
was a young married lady of Rome. Her father, 
who at first treated her harshly, at last visited her 
in her cell and implored her to obey the mandate 
of the pro-consul, Minutius, and sacrifice to idols. 
But she only said, ‘*God’s will must be done !’’ 
and with a bursting heart the poor old man leaves 
her to her fates. The story is graphically shown 
in the picture on the opposite page by the plead- 
ing features of the aged parent, who points the 
way to liberty, and the steadfast gaze of the 
beautiful face fixed on eternity.

streets generally took 
the place of old fortifi-

avenues of more than 
ordinary width and pre-

DurHAM CATHEDRAL Stands among the finest 
of the religious houses of England in many of 
the details of its architecture, and quite the 
equal of any other in location. It stands en- 
throned on a rock of prominence above the 
Wear, with the old palace-castle close beside 
it, and seeming to match it at once in gray 
antiquity and the beauty of old-time strength. 
Durham Cathedral is said to have been com- 
menced in or about 1093, thus barely coming 
within the eleventh century, and sharing the 
very warmth of the Norman fancies in eccle- 
siastical edifices; and it is believed that most 
of the structure was completed in the succeed- 
ing half-century, the beginning of the twelfth. 
The whole length, inclusive of the western 
porch, is 507 feet, with a width of 200 feet ; the 
central tower is 214 feet in height, while the 
two lighter and more graceful pinnacled towers 
(twins), crowning the magnificent west front 
and the Galilee Chapel, are each of the height 
of 143 feet. 

Adjoining the cloisters are the deanery, 
library chapter-house, prebendal college and 
exchequer. Without, very fine gardens and 
wooded plantations surround the sacred edifice ; 
near it the Wear is crossed by :handsome 
bridges, materially adding to the complete- 
ness of the view. 


THE SILK TRADE of Lyons now occupies some 
120,000 looms, of which only 30,000 are within 
the city. Including those who work in the 
silkworm establishments there are 800,000 per- 
sons employed in the Lyons silk trade. In1787 
there were but 80,000, and 18,000 looms,

ANTIETAM STONE BRIDGE is a very interesting 
historic souvenir of a day when Americans 
proved that, as soldiers, they had no superiors 
in the world. For obstinate heroism and in- 
domitable pluck, no one of the battles of the 
old world can rival Antietam, where the in- 
telligence and patriotism of the rank and file 
achieved all that has been claimed as the glory 
of the hard-trained machine fighters of the 
armies of monarchical Europe. Over 12,000 of 
the Americans, charging a defensive position, 
were disabled, causing a loss to the defenders 

42 (alas, Americans also !) of over 9,000, and neither 
1h 36 side would confess defeat. 

a ee Since the exhibits of that war, United America 
0 38 is accorded the place she so long felt to be hers 
1 44 —the leadership of the world. 


THE AREA OF Kansas is twice that of Ohio, 
and 15 per cent. greater than that of all the 
New England States. Of the 51,000,000 acres 
jn the entire State, over 10,000,000 are now 
under cultivation, the acreage in farm crops 
having increased during the past three years at 
the rate of more than a million acres per an- 
num. In 1879 the number of acres planted in 
Indian corn was 2,718,800—a gain of over 4oo 
per cent. in ten years, while the increase of 
population during the same period was about 
Pett 17o per cent. The census of 1880 shows that 
0 17 the corn area had increased to 3,417,817 acres.

THE LAST CROP.—Whitney. 


RAISINS. 

The grape interest to the people of Southern 
California is one of paramount importance. It 
has been demonstrated beyond question that the 
soil and climate of Southern California will pro- 
duce a grape equal in size and quality to that of 
any other section of the world. In 1879 the 
United States paid for foreign raisins and currants 
the enormous sum of $2,600,000, which gives 
some idea of the magnitude of the trade and the 
strength of our market. Malaga, Spain, where 
the best raisins are grown, sends us annually 
$2,000,000 worth of raisins and $100,000 worth of 
currants. There, where raisin culture is brought 
to its highest perfection, they have eight grades, 


and importers grade our product with their sixth, 
which fact indicates to us that there is much room 
for improvement, though the real wonder is that 
our raisin, in so short a time as has been devoted to 
its culture, and in consideration of our ignorance of 
the methods of curing and preparing them, should 
take rank at all. But year by year as better 
methods are developed by the enterprise and 
ingenuity of American horticulturists, and from 
observations in other countries, our product will 
increase in rank until, within the next decade, we 
shall expect to see the imported article driven 
from our shores, and, as is the case with our 
breadstuffs and meats, we shall find a market in 
Europe herself for our surplusage.

Our cuT represents the nipping of the Arctic 
whaling fleet in the ice and the crews leaving 
with such effects as they can take in the boats. 
Few landsmen can fully appreciate the dangers 
always besetting our hardy New England 
whalers. The number and tonnage of vessels 
engaged in this industry from American ports 
was greatest in 1854, when there were, of all 
rigs, 668, with a total tonnage of 208,399. By 
1865 this had dropped to 163 vessels, with 37,733 
tons. Various as the causes were which led to 
this decline, it cannot but be regretted that the 
country should lose the benefit of such a splen- 
did training school for seamen. 


THE REAL old families of England are the 
squires and the small landed gentry and yeo- 
men. Their descent and possessions have, in 
scores upon scores of cases, been unbroken for 
500 or even 800 years, whereas the unlimited 
power of a prime minister or sovereign to cre- 
ate a new peer has constantly introduced into 
the upper house men but a few removes from 
trade or the professions. Of the entire 418 
families whose heads have seats as peers of 
England, only 77 existed as nobles in 1707, 
when the union of England and Scotland took 
place, 341 having been raised to the peerage, 
exclusive of the last batch, since that date. 


THE FIRST DIRECTORY ever published in this 
country was of New York City in 1786. It 
was a small volume of 82 pages, 33 of them 
taken up with the names of individuals and 
firms, numbering about 900, and the remaining 
ee filled with general statistics of the city, 

. S. Government, Post-Office Regulations, 
&c. The N. Y. Historical Society possesses a 
copy of this interesting relic of the past. 


AMONG THE PINES.—C. E. H. Bonwill. 


THE LUMBERMEN of California every day cut 
pines twice as tall and two and a half times as 
large as a ‘*wonderful’’ tree at Waterloo, N. Y. 
Sixteen thousand feet of lumber have been cut 
from a single California pine, and the contract 
with the haulers being to cut no logs above the 
lowest limbs, the top left in the woods was more 
than four feet through where the last log was cut 
off. And then when it comes to a venerable age 
for trees, the big trees of Calaveras were larger 
than this Crystal Spring tree ever grew to be 800 
years before Magna Charta was signed by King 
John, which was 666 years ago. The resin is 
clear, and that which exudes from partly burned 
trees becomes sweet and is used as a substitute 
for sugar ; it has slight cathartic properties, like 
manna, which in appearance it resembles. 


THE MOUNTAINS OF THE SOUTH. 


That the mountain land of the South is at last 
attracting the attention of artists and tourists, is a 
great delight to those whose homes are amid its 
beauties. The traveler, flushed with the benefit 
of the ocean trip from New York to Richmond 
(the best point from which these lands are 
reached), is entranced with the desolate grandeur 
of the mountains and the serene loveliness of the 
rich valleys which alternately vie with each 
other in evoking a tribute of admiration from an 
appreciative lover of nature. 

To complete the charm, these scenes are 
viewed through a medium so exquisite as to defy 
description. This wonderful atmosphere. is a 
source of unending satisfaction! Blue, velvety, 
like the bloom on the sun-kissed cheek of a

as if endowed with wings ; 
and under its exhilarating 
influence what would other- 
wise be exhausting effort is 
rendered an invigorating 
pleasure. 

The variety and richness 
of the timber-growth on 
these mountains makes the 
fall of the year a feast of 
beauty. Many kinds_ of 
oak, maple, and hickory, 
with their chequered and 
brilliant hues, driven up to 
the utmost intensity of color 
by the continually recurring 
contrast of the emerald 
pine, form chords and har- 
monies, which are, in the 
color world, what organ 
music is in the world of 
sound. In the early autumn 
an undergrowth of sour- 
wood sheds a crimson glory

fore the other trees have 


begun to change ; and, at 


this season, one also often 


sees arich green pine, with

luscious grape, it hangs its fascinating vail over 
mountain and valley. Not like the purple haze 
of a northern Indian Summer, concealing while it 
softens, but revealing instead, by giving various 
objects their just and proper distance, and while 
melting all outlines to the tenderest delicacy, 
leaving them intact, and vesting everything with 
a bewildering beauty. 

And this glorious blue air is as delicious to 
breathe as it is beautiful to the eye. As one 
attains some height on the mountains it becomes 
a life-giving tonic ; fatigue is forgotten—one feels 


a Virginia creeper clothing 
its trunk from top to bot- 
tom like a heart of flame. 
Viewed either in their gen- 
eral effect, or in their. beautiful details, the 
Southern autumnal woods cannot be surpassed in 
gorgeous coloring and contrasts. 

We have selected a few fine examples to 
give our readers some idea of the beauties wait- 
ing exploration. 

Since the recent great improvements in South- 
erm railroading, these regions may be visited 
with all the facility and comfort of Northern 
and longer-known regions.

THE ART of 
printing changed 
the mind of man 
and the face of 
society. Manu- 
scripts, till their 
general usage, 
were scarce, dear 
and _ inaccessible 
to 999 in every 
1,000, and _ those 
in existence taught 
very little. In fact, 
learning to read 
was very useless 
except to the pro- 
fessions, and learn- 
ing to write was 
still more useless. 
Such was the state 
of affairs till after 
the year 1450 ; but 
the printing press 
created new and 
unforeseen excite- 
ment, and towards 
1500 schools were 
established to read 
the printed books. 
Intellectual pur- 
suits and improve- 
ments of all kinds 
followed; the man 
of the 17th century 
was as much ad- 
vanced over the 
man of the 14th as 
this latter was su- 
perior to ordinary 
animals, and now 
in the Igth century 
we seem to have 
reached in print- 
ing that degree of 
perfection which 
cannot be im- 
proved upon. 


WATCHES are 
said to have been 
invented in Nu- 
remberg about the 
year 1477, but it
